   13  currently included in the district capital work plan, adopted

   15  capital outlay needs or to use bond assurance authority granted
   16  to the board under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
   17  2009, the board, in addition to the 1.5 mills, may levy up to
   18  0.50 mills for fixed capital outlay in addition to the
   19  discretionary mills for operations as provided in the General
   20  Appropriations Act for the 2009-2010 fiscal year. A district’s
   21  revenues generated by the capital outlay levy pursuant to this
   22  subsection and paragraph (2)(e) may not exceed the amount
   23  generated by the district’s 2-mill levy ending on June 30, 2007.
   24  Millage levied pursuant to this subsection is subject to the
   25  provisions of s. 200.065.
